Evans isn't so much retiring from acting; he's actually looking to get behind the camera.

The retirement rumors can be blamed on a recent interview with Variety. In the interview Evans admitted he'll probably not be doing much acting outside of what he's "contractually obligated to do".

"If I'm acting at all, it's going to be under Marvel contract," Evans told the magazine.

He hopes to "be directing" when not honoring existing acting obligations.

Fans of Evans are no doubt excited to see what his directorial projects will be. Marvel fans who are fond of him as Captain America will be relieved that the sequel, which hits theaters across the country this weekend, won't be the last they see of him in the role.
